At the minute my rules are:
- Have to be a 'classic' name, that will age well with the child.
- Good nickname possibilities: I'm a Rebecca, but have been known as Becky all my life and nicknames are very common; I want my son or daughter to be able to share in that.
- Can't be too 'out-there' for the time - I love classic names, but naming a child Agatha or Edith in the 2020s (probably when I'll start thinking of a family) seems too odd right now.
- If I have a boy, the middle name will be Michael after my grandfather and my nearly-brother, and if I have a girl the middle name will be Jayne (mine AND my mother's middle name).
